6The enchantimals live in the world of Everwilde, which they are tasked to protect. To this end, each of them has [[LoyalAnimalCompanion one or two animal companions]] of the same species as they are themed after.

11!!''Enchantimals'' provides examples of:
12
13* AlliterativeName: All the enchantimals have a name like this, such as Fanci Flamingo, Danessa Deer, and Prue Panda. The one exception is Fluffy Bunny, who along with Bree Bunny is the only enchantimal to share a species with another.
14* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: "Caring Is Our Everything" vs "[[Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4 Friendship Is Magic]]".
15* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Some enchantimals have human skin tones. Others take after their animal type. And then there's characters like Bree, who is a pink bunny, and Patter, who is an all-blue peacock. In the latter case, the animal companions also have an unusual fur color.
16* AnimalGenderBender: Goes for Danessa Deer, who has antlers, and Patter Peacock, who is a PeacockGirl. The fiction is aware of it, as their respective pets are the only ones confirmed to be male.
17* BornLucky: Merit is this. The irony is that she's also the enchantimal [[NervousWreck that worries the most]].
18* BunniesForCuteness: Bree qualifies with her pink fur and energetic personality. Whether Fluffy qualifies is yet to be seen.
19* HollywoodToneDeaf: Patter has a horrible singing voice that is way more screechy than her regular voice and which she's oblivious too. Only in duet with Flap can she produce nice songs.
20* LighterAndSofter: Compared to its sister franchises, ''Enchantimals'' is more for younger kids and has little conflict so far.
21* LoyalAnimalCompanion: The "pets" of the enchantimals are this, though the exact nature of the bond shared between the two groups has yet to be explained.
22* MagicalAsian: Prue knows more about Everwilde than any other character. It doesn't do her friends any good because she always speaks in riddles.
23* TheOneGuy: So far, three male enchantimals have been introduced: Hixby Hedgehog, Redward Rooster and Patterson Penguin. However, Patterson Penguin is the only one of them who has appeared in one of the animated specials, called "Secrets of Snowy Valley".
24* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: Goes from LittleBitBeastly for characters like Merit and Felicity to Borderline Little Bit Beastly for characters like Bree and Karina.
25* {{Spinoff}}: In concept of ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' and ''Toys/EverAfterHigh''. Specifically, the enchantimals are based on the pixies of ''Ever After High''.
26* TagLine: "Caring is our Everything."
27* WorldOfMammals: Of the 14 starter dolls, one's a reptile and three are birds. The other ten are mammals. Later, a parrot, a penguin, a cheetah, and a seahorse were added.
28* WrenchWench: Bree is one, mixed with bits of CloudCuckoolander.
